Italians (and other Romance language speakers) order their words right; it’s anglophones who are heathens. Imagine needing to listen to something being described as expensive, long, sharp, French and red before you can finally learn that it’s a knife.

Totally unbiased take here

I’m not saying that they all do (I’m one of them), but that the ones that do (so informants and the like, like the man in the article) are scum of the Earth.

People from autocratic countries ruining democracy for people in democratic countries.

Man, people like this are just so infuriating and pathetic. Imagine leaving your dictatorial country to a democracy just to ruin it for people there.

Man why is it that whenever I find my country on a list it’s always for stuff like this? I mean it’s deserved but still.

Where can I vote for you for president of the world?

Because despite having a so-called union Europe is about as united as a relatively disciplined herd of cats and has acute far right-osis. There are pretty big obstacles standing in the face of a Europe that can compete with America and China and not having enough weapons is only one of them.

Now that I think about it it’s actually weird because Canada, which should theoretically be the most subservient of US allies, has demonstrated more backbone than Europe.

Victor Gao says that Europe is too small to be an adversary.

Uh… Gestures at America and also all of post-Medieval European history?

There’s a beautiful irony in how Americans are following in the footsteps of the multiple countries they bombed or couped into dysfunctionality.

I don’t think there’s any trend of Hungarians turning on Orban, and given the harm he does to the EU as a whole they frankly should play hardball.

Is a federation of different platforms not possible? Warning: I know absolutely nothing about this.

Oh yeah you’re right.

People in Germany need to vote for better parties and the centre and left parties need to make better decisions when in power, however that is not the fault of pr

I’m not saying it’s the fault of PR, but rather that a good voting system alone will not stop fascism. As you said non-right parties need to make better decisions when in power, but also the people themselves need to be more civically engaged outside of elections.

That’s definitely true, but then again AfD got the highest number of seats in Germany’s last election for example. PR is nice but not much more than a bandaid if your politicians are crooks, which let’s face it they are.

That’s certainly nice, but it’s mostly irrelevant in the long run without a more serious remedy to the issues the far right uses to gain legitimacy.

European defensive democracy stuff sounds good to our left-to-center-left ears, but frankly I doubt it’ll be much use. Without good economic policy fascism is inevitable. This will likely do more harm to the left than it will to the right.

Mostly Republicans but a much smaller trend can be seen among Democrats too.

deported as a EU citizen. What this article leaves out… Other sources accuse these protesters of being masked and storming the university with clubs and axes, intimidating staff and destroying property.

No. Other sources accuse some other protestors in this protest of doing these things.

Yeah so like I said, it feels good but it doesn’t have much strategic value. Might as well tarrif the whole thing and hope something comes out of it.
